Power Burst/Hyper Mode

Through attacking any borgs, you fill the gauge at the top right of your screen. Once this gauge is full, you may press "Y" to activate "Power Burst."

Function
If there are 2 human players on the same team (Vs and Challenge only), they must both press "Y" to use Power Burst. If you have an ally in a battle, unless their entire force has been depleted, they must have a borg in the battle in order for you to be able to activate Power Burst. If certain borgs are present at the same time on one team when Power Burst is used, they fuse into one borg who's different parts are controlled by their corresponding GF Commander (Cyber Machines, Mechanical Dragon, Cyber Death Dragon). Only forces being used by GF Commanders and those accompanying them can use Power Burst. For the purpose of determining weather a force is being commanded, all forces in Vs and Challenge are considered to have GF Commanders.

By activating Power Burst, the currently fighting borgs on the players team will gain the following buffs.
 * Faster movement
 * Faster attacks
 * Attacks deal more damage. The attack must hit the enemy while you're in hyper mode; it doesn't matter when it is fired.
 * Faster reloading of attacks
 * Faster charging of charge attacks
 * Less damage from enemy attacks
 * Less flinching from enemy attacks
 * Allied attacks (including your own attacks if you're using a borg that can damage itself, such as ICBM Tank) will pass through you harmlessly

Trivia

 * Although it is called "Power Burst" in the instruction manual, most players call it "Hyper Mode."
